Escape to Kenosha: Luxurious Comfort Inn & Suites Awaits!
Escape to Kenosha: Where Comfort Meets Kenosha – A (Brutally Honest) Review of the Comfort Inn & Suites
Okay, folks, let's be real. Kenosha. It's not exactly the first place that springs to mind when you dream of a luxurious getaway. But hey, sometimes you gotta go where you gotta go, right? And if you do find yourself in the Windy City's northern cousin, then the Comfort Inn & Suites is your surprisingly decent port in a storm. Let's dive deep, shall we? Buckle up, because this is gonna be less "polished travel brochure" and more "real-life human being's experience."
Accessibility: The Good, the Okay, and the "Hmm…"
Right off the bat, the wheelchair accessibility is a huge plus. Facilities for disabled guests? They've got 'em. Now, I don't personally use a wheelchair, but I saw ramps, elevators, and the whole shebang. Thumbs up on making it inclusive. Getting around in and out of the hotel seems pretty straightforward. The exterior corridor setup takes some getting used to, but hey, at least you can see the sky (sometimes, weather permitting).
Sanitation & Safety: Smells Like…Clean! (Usually)
Let's get straight to the important stuff now: Is it clean? During these times? Look, the anti-viral cleaning products are definitely in use. I got a whiff of something potent as soon as I walked in (thankfully, not a bleach-bomb smell!). The daily disinfection in common areas gave me peace of mind, and the rooms are sanitized between stays. They are also serious about the hand sanitizer, which is everywhere. The professional-grade sanitizing services appear to be legit. Staff trained in safety protocol? They seemed on it.
I mean, I’m still getting used to the whole “sanitized kitchen and tableware” thing, but you know…better safe than sorry!
My Room Escape: A Cozy, If Not Utterly Luxurious, Haven
Alright, let's talk the room. The non-smoking room was a blessed relief. Air conditioning worked like a charm, thank God. And, oh sweet mercy…blackout curtains! They are a godsend for those late nights. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms is a given these days, but it was actually FAST. I was able to stream some guilty pleasure shows without a single hiccup. Yes! Another thing that's great? Desk, Laptop workspace. Gotta do something when you are stuck so far from home.
My bed was comfy, with a nice extra long bed (score!). The bathroom? Functional. The shower did its job. The toiletries were standard hotel fare, but honestly, I wasn't expecting a spa experience. The mirror was clear. The hair dryer worked. The coffee/tea maker was vital (though I definitely wished it was a Keurig and not one of those sad little filters).
- Wi-Fi [free]: Check. 10/10
- Air conditioning: Check. 10/10
- Blackout curtains: Check. 10/10
- Smoke detectors: Check. 10/10 (and a welcome sight!)
Food, Glorious (and Sometimes Questionable) Food!
Breakfast [buffet]… sigh. Let's be realistic. It's your standard continental breakfast: Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast takeaway service… all good options, but not revolutionary. The coffee/tea in restaurant was definitely a must, but the buffet in restaurant food was…well… what you'd expect. I filled my plate with eggs, sausage, and (because I'm a masochist) some of the questionable pastries.
The restaurants, restaurants, restaurants: I wish I could say more, but since I was working (and mostly out of options), I could not enjoy most of them. It wasn’t exactly a culinary adventure.
I also wasn’t thrilled with the lack of Happy hour or even a real bar.
Relaxation & Rejuvenation - (Where I Was Most Disappointed)
Okay, this is where the Comfort Inn & Suites falls a little short. They have a Fitness center, but it's more about the bare minimum than a place you'd actually want to spend time. There's a swimming pool [outdoor], but it wasn’t open. The Sauna and spa were unavailable. No massage, no steamroom. Look, I wasn't expecting a full-blown spa experience, but a slightly better gym and pool would have been amazing.
Services & Conveniences: A Mixed Bag
- Laundry service: Available. A lifesaver for a longer stay.
- Cash withdrawal: Convenient.
- The Concierge, well, he was there. I’m not sure if I needed him.
- Luggage storage: A nice touch.
- Daily housekeeping: Appreciated.
- Convenience store: Always a plus.
- Car park [free of charge]: Woohoo! Free parking in a hotel is wonderful!
Things to Do in Kenosha (Besides Staying in a Hotel)
Honestly, I’m not the best person to ask about Kenosha sightseeing. I was stuck in a conference. So, I can't directly help with finding things to do. Sorry!
The Verdict: Surprisingly Decent, Especially for the Price
Look, the Comfort Inn & Suites isn't the Ritz. It's not even the Four Seasons. But for what it is – a comfortable, clean, and reasonably priced hotel in Kenosha – it does a pretty darn good job. It’s a convenient base camp, with good accessibility and solid safety measures.
My Emotional Rollercoaster: A Quick Trip Down Memory Lane…
- Arrival: Mild amusement at the location mixed with a "well, here we go" sigh.
- Room Check: Relief at a clean space, happiness at the blackout curtains, and slight disappointment at the coffee situation.
- Gym Experience: Mildly demoralizing (that's it?).
- Breakfast: A mixture of hunger and vague regret about the sausage.
- Departure: A sigh of relief and a promise to bring my own coffee next time.

Florence, AL Getaway: Unbelievable Comfort Suites Deal!
Alright, buckle up buttercups! We're diving headfirst into the chaotic, wonderful reality of a trip to Kenosha, Wisconsin, specifically anchored at the Comfort Inn & Suites in Pleasant Prairie. Don't judge the choice, it's got free waffles, and that's a priority. Here's how this lovely mess might shake out:
Day 1: Arrival, Waffle Worship, and a Brush with the Past (and Maybe Some Regret)
2:00 PM - The Great Descent: Arrive in Kenosha. (Assuming everything went right, which is a gamble in itself). The drive? Uneventful. Unless you count the existential dread that always creeps up during long stretches of highway. Did I leave the iron on? Did I pack enough snacks? (The answer to the second one is always "no.")
2:30 PM - Check-In & Waffle Vigil: Okay, first things first – the Comfort Inn. Pray the room isn't facing the highway. And thank the heavens the front desk person is friendly… because, frankly, a grumpy start can ruin everything. Unpack. Survey the room. And then? Waffles. The holy grail, the reason for existence. I'm talking crispy edges, fluffy insides, a mountain of whipped cream. This is the dream. I might stay in the breakfast area all day. I swear! I had to go back for more. I may or may not have shoved a whole waffle in my mouth while grabbing juice. Don't judge me, haven't you ever loved a waffle before?
4:00 PM - The Kenosha History Center: Alright, time to pretend to be cultured. The History Center sounded exciting, and since I'm here, I might as well learn some things. Hopefully, it isn't too dry. Let's be honest, I'm a sucker for old photos and stories about regular people. (I also like the air conditioning).
6:00 PM - Dinner! (Maybe some Kenosha Beer): Researching! I've read that there are good local breweries. I have to try them!
Day 2: Lake Michigan, a Museum's Heart, and a Rollercoaster of Feelings
8:00 AM - Breakfast and Strategy: Pancakes this time, because variety is the spice. Contemplate the day ahead (and possibly how many waffles I can reasonably consume before they start judging me). The plan? Solidify a plan.
9:00 AM - Lake Michigan Gaze: Head down to the lake. Walk the shore. Get hit by a rogue wave. (Actually, that sounds a little too dramatic, but still, gotta get that lake feeling). This is where I'll probably have my "deep thoughts" moment, or maybe just stare at the water and think about what I'm going to eat for lunch.
11:00 AM - Civil War Museum: Okay, this is the "big one" of the day. The Civil War Museum is apparently REALLY good. I am a history buff, but I can feel this will be an emotional experience, and I need to be ready for that. I'm talking exhibits that will blow my mind, stories that will break my heart, and maybe a little bit of sobbing in a corner. Wish me luck.
Okay, so the Civil War Museum… whoa. It was hard to leave and take it all in at once. I am amazed by the bravery and sadness of this story. Just. Wow.
2:00 PM - Lunch and a Reality Check: Gotta refuel after that emotionally draining museum experience. Find a local place, preferably with cheese curds. Because Wisconsin, you know? Then I will think about what to do next.
4:00 PM - Jelly Belly Factory Tour (If Time Permits, Maybe): I love Jelly Bellys. The end. A little bit of sugar, a little bit of fun, and maybe a little bit of a sugar crash later…
6:00 PM - Dinner and a Potential Meltdown: See a show. A local theater sounds cool. (Or maybe just order a pizza to the room and watch a movie). The day will be exhausting, but at least the bed at The Comfort Inn will be comfortable.
Day 3: Departure and the Aftermath of Waffle Bliss
- 8:00 AM - Goodbye, Waffles: One last hurrah at the breakfast buffet. Say a heartfelt goodbye to the waffles. They will be missed.
- 9:00 AM - Check Out: Check-out, and the rest of my journey.
- 10:00 AM - Drive back home: Reflect on all that I ate, and my experience in Kenosha.
- 11:00 AM - Sleep: Sleep, and sleep, and sleep. The trip has ended, but the memories of the trip will keep me company until the next time.
Important Notes & Ramblings (because, well, me):
- The Weather: Pray for sunshine. Please, God, no more rain.
- The Room: Bring earplugs, just in case the highway is loud, or the neighbors are… enthusiastically enjoying their stay.
- The Feelings: Be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions. (This isn't a spa vacation, people).
- Flexibility is Key: This is more of an outline than a rigid schedule. Embrace the unexpected. Get lost. Make mistakes. Laugh at yourself. That's the whole point, isn't it?
- Post-Trip Therapy: I might need it.
- Most importantly, enjoy every moment!
So, there you have it. A messy, honest, and hopefully hilarious glimpse into my Kenosha adventure. Wish me luck, and maybe I'll see you at the waffle bar. (Don't expect me to share).
North Platte's BEST Kept Secret: Quality Inn Review & Hidden Perks!
Escape to Kenosha: Luxurious Comfort Inn & Suites Awaits! (Or Does It?) - A Somewhat Unfiltered FAQ
Okay, so... "Luxurious Comfort Inn"? Gimme a break. Really?
What's the deal with the free breakfast? Is it actually edible? And is it *free* free?
And free? Yep! Completely free. No hidden costs, unless you count the psychological trauma of contemplating the shelf life of the yogurt cups. Honestly, I skipped it the first morning and grabbed a bagel from the local place, and the second morning I tried it again, and it hit the spot! Maybe it was the desperation talking. Or the caffeine from the slightly-better-than-gas-station coffee. Let's be honest. Don't expect Michelin star breakfast. Expect sustenance. Consider it fueling up for your inevitable Kenosha adventures.
Pool? Hot tub? Tell me the good stuff! Because sometimes you need a break from the kids.
The hot tub... well, it *was* open. And if I'm being completely honest? I snuck in there one night after everyone was asleep. Don't judge me. It was heavenly. Hot, bubbling, and blessedly quiet (until a couple of elderly folks showed up and started discussing their digestive issues. I promptly retreated.) So yes. Hot tub = good. Potential encounters with folks discussing their bowels = unavoidable. Take your chances.
Room service? Because, you know... lazy vacationer.
Location, Location, Location! What's nearby to visit?
Here's where it gets a bit dicey: the hotel is basically surrounded by a bunch of chain restaurants. Not exactly gourmet gold, but you can find something to eat easily. The upside? Convenience. The downside? Well, let's just say my tastebuds were begging for mercy after a few days.
But the *real* gems of Kenosha? The lakefront parks and the museums, they're all easily accessible, too! Check out the Kenosha Public Museum, and the Dinosaur Discovery Museum.
And the best part? The park on the Lake Michigan coast. It's perfect for a walk or just sitting and watching the waves. I did both. It was truly worth it.
Parking? Is it a nightmare? Because I hate circling the block.
Anything I *won't* like? Give me the real dirt.
And the worst part? The internet. it was unreliable, and I had to keep logging in. I was even desperate enough to call the front desk, but the guy was super busy.
But, honestly, if you go expecting a reasonable place to crash after a day of adventure, you'll be fine. Just bring earplugs, a strong dose of patience, and a healthy sense of humor. And maybe, just maybe, lower those expectations a *tiny* bit.
Overall, would you go back? Be honest!
